About Me

I'm a musician, producer and sometimes gig organizer and dj who was born in the so-called Democratic Republic of Congo (ex-Zaire) during the 20th century when people thought the 21st century would look like a science-fiction world (in fact it is but most people don't see it).
I'm of Greek, Zairian and Belgian descent. Not white, nor black, for some I look like what people call in French "un quarteron" (something you could translate by "a quadroon" in English but the meaning is slightly different), for some I look like an Arab, for some I look like a Malay or an Indonesian, for some like a gay [ah, well, you know a guy full of make-up and wearing a skirt...] for some like a punk for some like a girl so at least I'm supposed to be something called a human : I have one head, two arms, two legs, a body and all the rest.
I do hate racism sexism, speciecism (I'm vegan), capitalism and and and ...
I mostly grew up in the French speaking part of Belgium, then later moved to Brussels, then to the Netherlands, later traveled a lot across Europe and Asia mostly to perform, meet different artists, set up new projects and collaborations.
At the present time I keep moving a bit everywhere but my recording and mastering studio has been relocated to Belgium until next year then it will move again I guess.
I did many studies and mostly finish none of them : electro-acoustic, art school, theater, orchestral drums, silkscreen, etc. ; I started to record industrial and noise music in 1989 with the band Crno klank and since then played in many other projects and under different names such as Axiome, Ammo, Ambre, Dead Hollywood stars, C-drik, Kirdec, Moonsanto, Tetra plok, Elekore, Logatomistes and so on and collaborated live or studio with many artists, just check the list hereunder.
I played and still play many styles such as electro-acoustic, noise, improv, digital punk, breakcore, electro, dark ambient, short movie soundtracks, music for dance and theater and so on.

I speak English, French, Dutch, a not too bad but still basic German and a very little bit of some other languages if needed.
I'm also involved in two labels : Syrphe (also a mastering studio mainly focused on my own productions and the production of underground electronic and noise artists coming from Africa, the Middle-East and Asia), Textolux (production of electro) and run a tape label during the 90's called Sepulkrales katakombes which produced my projects and international bands like M. Nomized, De fabriek, In absentia, Simbolo, Sequela, Deleted, Architect's office, Sphinx, and much more.
